Losing My English...? WHAT?

Hey loyal readers. First off I just wanted to say thank you for still reading this. I mean it’s already been 6 months and I know all of you have busy lives. So thanks a bunch. It means the world and more to me.

On Sunday I redeemed myself while playing Uno. Johannes figures that he left his luck back in Faurndau (the town we stayed in over New Years). It was nice to spend some time with him. We’ve really become a lot more comfortable with each other. For instance yesterday it was so funny. I was helping clear off the table and I had to put something in their walk in cold room/ cupboard thing. I see Johannes there opening some chocolates or something and I definitely caught him red handed. I whispered in German that I hadn’t seen anything. Katrin was just outside the door so she heard and tried to stifle a laugh. Johannes and I also just talk a lot more naturally. It’s going to be strange starting over in my new family..

Eberhard had the weekend from hell at the hospital. I mean the poor guy picked me up from the birthday party on Friday night with Katrin. Then he’s called into the clinic at 1:30 am and is there until some time in the early morning. Then he’s called back in at 11 and is there until around 4. Then he had a decent nights sleep, but then he had to leave at around 2 pm to go back to the clinic, he missed supper and called to say he’d be back later. Around 9 pm he was back and then later that night he was called back to the clinic and worked practically all night before going back to work at 7 am. Brutal. I’ve never been interested in becoming a doctor, but now I am beyond certain that becoming a doctor is not for me.

I had both Monday and Tuesday off of school. So on Monday I had a big drama rehearsal from 10-6. The time actually went pretty fast today. I was rather surprised. It was a good rehearsal. We still have a lot of work to do, because that was the first day that we didn’t play all of the scenes separately, but we played a chunk of them together. However people are pretty good with lines, so I think we are in a decent place right now.

That night I watched the second episode of that awesome German TV series Die Wölfe I was telling you about. Awesome…just awesome..

The next day I trained it by myself to the near by city of Bad Hersfeld in the hopes of registering for a German Language Course. (It was cancelled last semester because of lack of interest. Too bad…definitely.) So they figured that I wouldn’t be in a Beginners Class but in one of their two intermediate classes. So I am going to try both and see which one suits be better. One of them definitely has enough people so it will definitely run, but the other one isn’t so certain they need more people. So we’ll see how it goes next week. I told them that I’d have to miss quite a few Thursday’s until the middle of March because I am in a play. They said that we’d figure it out. So that was also good news.

Katrin picked me up from the train station and we watched the last episode of Die Wölfe. I don’t know how many more times I can say amazing. So let’s just say amazing times a million.

This week was a really strange week. So I had both Monday and Tuesday off of school. It was a small holiday. Then on Wednesday and Thursday I only had a half day of school because it is Project Week and then I had no school at all day, Friday. So I caught up on a lot of sleep which was nice. On Thursday we had another play rehearsal and we filmed some of it. We were all dressed in black because we still need costumes, but Herr Meyers wife has a few ideas. Their baby is always at rehearsal with us. He is the cutest thing ever! He’s just started to say Mama and Papa. CUTE!

OH I almost forgot to mention that I'm starting to lose my English. I mean noticeably losing my English. Now I am very unsure what prepositions to use like in, at, or on. I'm not sure anymore. I'm also losing my spelling. I think words that are spelt right are wrong and words that are wrong are right. I also write sentences that I know aren't right but I'm not sure how to make them right. Kind of freaky. I'm losing the one language I am compatent in! Of course all of it will come back once I'm back in Canada, but ahhhhhh!

So that’s about it. As usual take care and I’ll update you soon. =)
